I'd love to play some Commander, but unfortunately I don't have a deck for it. what's the best starting point? I see in the MTGO store there are some Commander pre-cons, any of them any good?
re-vamped the deck a little. haven't lost a match since I changed it up, now just looking for sideboard suggestions. the Frostburn Weirds are a placeholder for now, thinking of replacing them and the 2x Dispel with 4x Hydroblast and another Coral Net. also - Annul vs Steel Sabotage for the SB? thoughts?
haven't had this much fun playing MTG since I ran a white weenie deck in Mirrodin/Kamigawa standard.
I've started getting into MTG again after like 8 years of not playing. Not wanting to dump too much money into it, I'm sticking with pauper decks for now. Was hoping someone could give me some pointers on my newly made Delver deck. So far I've gone 11-3 with it, so far so good, but I figure it can always be improved. Lost twice to a Goblins deck, so any sideboard advice for them would be nice. I'm thinking Hydroblast will help, would probably swap 4 of them for 2 Vapor Blast and 2 Deprive if I'm playing Goblins.
got some Snapbacks and Annuls for the sideboard and looking to add some Echoing Truths, but it's not a huge priority since I'm usually just playing single-game matches. thinking of investing in 2 Daze and 2 Snap for the maindeck, but not sure what I would take out to accommodate them. Also given some thought to Curse of Chains, as I have no real way to deal with scary creatures once they hit the battlefield.
IMO it would be great for both the Pains and Rav-duals to be printed in Core Sets from now on, but I can't see WotC using up 20 core set rare slots on land...
have you ever even listened to REAL black metal, not COf or Demon Burger, im talking the real deal, the classics. Stuff like Burzum, Emperor, Immortal, Celtic Frost/Hellhammer, Mayhem, etc.?
BTW-On the topic of black/death metal, I am going to get a large number of cds for Christmas, including stuff from Immortal, Emperor, Burzum, Empyrium, Bloodbath, Cannibal Corpse, Mortician, Amon Amarth, and a few others.
awesome, if you like black metal check out the band Vinterland (if you haven't already).
I honestly do beleive so...seems like it could be a viable sideboard card now...plus just imagine the look on you opponent's face when you cast Mudhole...
I decided to cut 3x O-Stone, to add 1x Tinker, 1x Mystical Tutor (to get Gifts/FoF faster), and 1x Spellbook (so I can cast Stroke of Genius for huge amounts of cards, and not have to discard).
I want to put in 1x Metalworker, but I'm not sure what I should take out...any advice on that?
The O-Stone is there as a kind of last resort, usually by the time I have need to clear the board I will have 8 mana open to play it, then when the opponent declares their attack phase I pop it to clear the board (or I'll pop it in response to the opponent attempting to destroy it.
I don't want to Tinker for the DS Colossus, becasue this is a casual, fun deck. Turn 2/3 11/11 indestructible tramplers aren't really fun for any of the other players, so I just won't bother with Tinker...the deck usually work well enough without it, anyway.
As for the Tops, so far they've proven quite usefull after I cast Gifts, or if I'm short on mana and need a land, quick. They've also greatly helped me in setting up Urzatron, so they'll probably stay unless I find another card that NEEDS to be included, and proves to be more usefull than the Tops.
I was considering Tinker, but I think that it's not suited for a casual deck, and people would get REALLY mad if I played it turn 2-3 and got out a Darksteel Colossus that early in the game. Another card I'm considering is Mystical Tutor (so I can tutor for Gifts Ungiven)

Because it was designed by Bob Maher.
